poverty is a crime against humanity.

Its not good to be poor

The truth is that chances the landlord did this is actually slim. Most tenants usually set their landlords up especially when they about being ejected from the house and the landlord makes a mistake of breaking in to maybe eject tenants forcefully. They then resort to court saying the landlord stole just to pay back. We need to becareful
